Hydraulic Selector Valves

Hopefully Keystone will upgrade these valves to what the competition has... an on/off switch inside the main panel inside the rig. Before deciding on a Montana...its three main competitors all had the on/off switches, as standard...Hitchhiker II, Carriage Cameo Lite, and Sunnybrook.

I agree - we looked at the Cardinal and it had a seperate switch for each slide - come on Keystone - get with it. This is what customers want.

A friend of ours has a 2006 3400RL and he tells us that each slide is on its own switch. Keystone has the message.

I kinda like all the slides on one switch. I guess it is beause I don't normally want to open just one or two slides.

Re "each slide has it's own switch"...I think he means 'own valve'. Our 2007 3400 still has the four hydraulic valves located with all the other misc stuff in the forward storage area. In my initial post, what I should have said was that the competition has a switch for each slide. Therefore, if you stop for lunch (or anything else) and want to run one slide out...just press the switch for that slide.

The individual switch would be a nice thing...Before we leave for a long trip (3400) I leave the kitchen and main slide activated and turn the others off then when we stop for food only those slides will come out. It is better than nothing...

I would like the on/off switch. The screw type switch in the front bay is convenient and the three switches turn very hard.
We pop the living room and kitchen when on the road for eating.
The switches inside would be very convenient.
